The Server Book app icon Now in beta · A Ravn product

Snap the slip.
The numbers read themselves.

The Server Book turns your close-out slip into a running record of what you actually earn — then reads the weather, what's happening in town, and your own history to tell you what the week ahead is worth.

Why it exists

Restaurants have data.
Servers have a hunch.

Every restaurant has had sales-by-hour, covers-by-section and labor analytics for years. The people actually working the floor get a feeling that Fridays are good and a shoebox of crumpled slips.

The Server Book closes that gap. Same quality of information, pointed at the person earning the money.

How it works

Thirty seconds after last table.

01Photograph the slip

Point your camera at the close-out. Tips, sales, hours and tip-outs are pulled off it automatically — you just confirm they're right.

02It learns your patterns

Every shift sharpens the picture: which days pay, which section pays, how rain and a concert down the street move your night.

03You stop guessing

See the week ahead before you pick up or drop a shift — and know what a Tuesday is actually worth before you agree to it.

The part that does the thinking

It reads your slips.
Then it reads the week.

Logging is the easy part. What makes a night good or bad is usually outside the building — the weather, what's happening downtown, which section you're in, which job you picked up. The Server Book watches all of it and does the math you'd never sit down and do.

Reads any close-out

Point the camera at the slip and the numbers come off it — tips, sales, hours, tip-outs — whatever POS your restaurant runs. No format to configure, no typing at 1am.

Weather, on your clock

Not "it rained Tuesday." The hourly forecast for that venue's town, sliced to the hours you were actually punched in — so a storm that hit after close doesn't get blamed for a slow night.

What's happening in town

Each week it looks up concerts, games, festivals and holidays near each of your venues, and puts the names right on the day — so you know why Saturday looks big before you're standing in it.

Your rain number, not a rule of thumb

It measures what weather actually does to your earnings from your shifts. One server's patio bar loses a third on a wet night; a downtown dining room barely notices. The forecast uses your number.

Ranges, not fake precision

Each day shows a realistic spread built from your own history at that job on that weekday — not a single confident number that's wrong by fifty bucks.

A verdict after every shift

Save a shift and it tells you the truth: your best Friday yet, about 22% better than your usual, or a slow Thursday when you normally see more. Facts, not cheerleading.

Ask it anything

The answer comes from your own shifts.

Ask about a specific night, a specific job, a section, a season — and it answers from the closest slice of your real history, and tells you what that answer rests on.

When there isn't enough data to be sure, it says so instead of making something up. Two jobs never get blended into one misleading number.

What's inside

Built from real shifts.

  • Photo close-outThe slip reads itself — and the photo is never stored, only the numbers you confirm.
  • Weekly forecastA dollar range for each day ahead, adjusted for that venue's weather and what's happening in town.
  • Which shifts payDays, nights and doubles compared side by side — per job, so two venues never blur together.
  • Tip-outs and tip-insItemized by who you paid or got paid by, editable to what actually happened that night.
  • GoalsRent fills first, then the trip. Tips cascade down the list in the order you set.
  • Multiple jobsTwo venues, two towns, two baselines — kept separate everywhere it matters.
The part that matters

Your numbers are yours.

You see your data. Nobody else does. It is never shown to a restaurant, never handed to a staffing company, and never sold to anyone — not now, not if the app gets big.

Export everything or delete it whenever you want.
